Automation of Cadastral Data From Paper-Based Records to Survey Fabric
Track: Cadastral and Land Records
Author(s): Steven Hope, Bob Nagle

As a response to Western Governors Association Policy Resolution 03-05, a partnership between Bureau of Land Management (BLM), State of Utah, and Millard County, is piloting a procedure to automate parcel boundary data for rural counties of Utah. The goals of the pilot are: provide seamless cadastral data across geo-political boundaries, convert land records from paper to digital format, and perpetuate the cadastral infrastructure. The pilot utilized current BLM Geographic Coordinate Database/Public Land Survey System legacy software to construct a cadastral framework suitable for import as the survey fabric within ArcGIS Survey Analyst. A consensus resolution of such overarching issues as, identification of the limits of data custodianship where cadastral jurisdictions overlap and efficient data sharing between independent custodians, will constitute the benchmarks of success for the pilot.
